The Chief Minister of Tripura inaugurated a new 480‑seat Eklavya Model Residential School in the Dhalai district, marking a significant step in the state's educational development.
The Chief Minister of Tripura, Shri Biplab Kumar Deb, formally opened the newly constructed Eklavya Model Residential School in the Dhalai district on Thursday. The 480‑seat facility is part of the state’s ongoing effort to improve access to quality education in rural areas.
The school, located on a sprawling campus in Dhalai, features modern classrooms, a science laboratory, a library, and dormitories that will accommodate students from surrounding villages. It is designed to provide a holistic learning environment with a focus on both academics and extracurricular activities.
During the inauguration, CM Deb highlighted the importance of residential schooling in bridging educational gaps and said the project would help nurture talent in remote parts of Tripura. He also mentioned that the school would be run under the Eklavya Model framework, which emphasizes inclusive education and community participation.
The government plans to replicate this model in other districts, aiming to increase the number of residential schools across the state by 2025. The opening of the Dhalai campus is seen as a milestone in Tripura’s broader strategy to raise educational standards and reduce dropout rates.
